So according to the police Crimo attempted suicide in April of 2019, someone called the cops a week after they found out about the attempt, and the situation was being handled by "mental health professionals." Then in September of 2019, Crimo threatened to "kill everyone" a family member called the cops and told the cops he had a large amount of knives. The cops removed 16 knives, a dagger, and a sword from the house. The Highland police called the Illinois state police about the incident. So in a state with red flag laws and incredibly strict gun laws, how the fuck was he able to buy a gun legally?

There was that tranny at a shopping mart a few years back if I recall. Used a shotgun.


Also an update. Apparently the shooter was red flagged and still made it through a background check for what I assume is a FOID, which should’ve been revoked according to the law

It's embarrassingly apparent at this point, there are a good number of states that are either not doing the bare minimum, or not getting the right information when background checks are being done. They need to go after the person who signed off on that. If they start holding people accountable, these state workers will stop doing the bare fucking minimum. Anybody with two eyes (hell, even one eye) can see that there was a paper trail as to why this fucker shouldn't have been able to get a gun easy; not without an interveiw ATLEAST. What's the point of having these laws if they aren't going to enforce it when it counts?

Now, if it's because the state worker wasn't able to see that specific police report for whatever reason, then it's on the system and not the worker. That's a system error, and im assuming something to do with how the report was filed. Not everything that gets reported, gets put in the right database. I know that because of the amount of people I knew in the military where their prior arrests didn't pop up on their background checks. It's usually due to the precinct having an older, outdated system; or the cop was lazy.

Either he didn’t violate eligibility to get a FOID card or no one took the time to conduct a background check.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this or how to interpret "hedge" in this context...but it sounds shady as fuck.View attachment 3460405
I'm guessing that the editor wants writers to not make a definite statement on how the police identified him as they're lacking information. Issuing a statement that more detailed information could contradict would not be in the best interest of AP.

Ditto! I'm thinking we are dealing with the typical Illinois bureaucracy, at its finest.
It has to be, because it seems the threat to "kill everyone" was aimed at his family since it was a family member that called the cops. How in a state with red flag laws does threatening to kill your family not raise about a dozen red flags? Especially after the Highland cops told the Illinois state police about what he did.

The problem, I think, is that local municipalities and state agency communications vary state to state. Some get it right, others leave it up to locals to figure out what information is important. Again, if all that was filed on him was a report and no charges (I don't know if that was the case), there's a really good chance that the state didn't flag that information for any possible background checks. It's fucked up, but a symptom of having an entirely automated system in place. They place priority on charges filed over any colorful reports.

I am willing to bet they just timed the phone data once they had triangulated the location he fired from. The list generated from that wouldn't have been as long as you might think.

That is if they didn't already know.
